Summary

This is a collection of book reviews in Danish, evaluating several geographical works covering topics such as the regional geography of the USA, the economic geography of South America, the industrial geography of Brazil, a housing atlas of West Germany, the national atlas of Ireland, and the history of natural sciences at the University of Copenhagen. The reviews highlight the methodological strengths of each work, such as the use of factor analysis and electronic data processing in the regionalization of the USA, the emphasis on foreign capital in Brazil's industrial development, and the exemplary cartography of the Irish atlas. Criticisms are also noted, including the somewhat dated data in the German housing atlas and the insufficient discussion of political and social issues in the South American study. Overall, these works provide valuable resources for geographical research and teaching.
